The officer of the tower. realiz- ing this meant only a few minutes llying tlnie,v grabbed the mike. "NC-84. this is Captain Jones speaking. Don't be flustered: keep calm. Tell me, what. landmarks are in sight? Over."

After a painful silence, the voice from space answered: "Sir, I'm parked on the runway. I was won- derlng where the gas truck was."

Iy Genevieve Kemble onAaw For Tomorrow

THIS day's fortunes are largely up to you - to make or mar by your own actions. There is a tend- ency to impatience and to worry. But both can be overcome if you are on guard. Instead of yielding to impatience, wait quietly for situ- ations to develop of themselves. You can do this by planning ahead instead of relying on last- minute efforts -- only to experience frantic frustration because hurried arrangements do not work out per- fectly. Instead of worrying, give thought to the pleasant and plan some enjoyable activity. You have no actual cause for worry this day. so why torment yourself needlessly?

For the Birthday

1! tomorrow is your birthday, the year ahead should prove un- usually stimulating. Because of your vivid imagination and your personal sense of diplomacy, you will be keenly interested in world affairs and may even find yourself taking part in the social and cul- tural projects that are part of the changing trend. You will have to

uard, however. against overwork

ecause, in your enthusiasm, you may be inclined to take on more duties than you can possibly ful- nll. During the early part of this year you may experience some ten- aion regarding your work, but as the months go by such tensions will be reduced. A concentrated effort to relax and to take things as they some will help.

GLAND OVEIWIIGET

. ..m.

Physicians doing special work on overweight and underweight and that in about one case in twenty of overweighta. one of four glands is not manufacturing enough Juice or extract and allows the excess fat to accumulate in certain deli- nite parts of the body. These glands are the thyroid in the neck. the pituitary lying on the floor of the skull, the adrenals, one above each kidney, and the gonads or sex glands.

However, notwithstanding that these glands are not manufactur- ing enough juice. these weight specialists put every overweight on a reducing diet, the idea being that even if a. gland or glands are at fault, the overweight is eating more food than his body needs.

The weight, or gland specialist, can often tell from looking at the overweight what gland (or glands) is underactive. he may find it dif- ficult to tell which glands are at- fault.

Generally speaking, when the thyroid gland is underactive, and the thyroid is the commonest gland at fault, the excess fat is deposited everywhere on the body, giving the individual a "billowy" appearance.

When the pituitary gland is underactlve, the excess fat accum- ulates across shoulders. upper arms, chcst, abdomen. hips, but

forearms and legs may have no excess fat, and feet and hands are small. when the adrenal glands are at fault. the excess fat is dif- ficult to distinguish from those with defects of pituitary gland. However, excess fat is about the upper part of the body-face, neck, upper arms and trunk while hips and thighs remain thin and In women may be accompanied by a mascuine appearance. when the sex glands are underactive, there is an increase in weight. Overweight developing at this time is very common. The distribution of fat in females due to such underactiviiyy is over the lower abdomen, hips and thighs. in males, the excess fat is in these same regions.

while excess fat is "always" treated by a reduction of the.food intake, the weight specialist, when the reduction in weight. ceases or even before. begins to use small quantities of the gland extract or extracts which he considers are most to blame for the failure to further reduce weight.

As stated before, when the pat- ient has faithfully followed the re- ductlon diet and fails to decrease

"Probably there is no feeling in the human mind stronger than the love of gardening, and at all times and in all ages, gardens have been amonget the greatest interest to mankind." - Charla ,.. ..

I am amaaod at the interest in gardening! Meeting a city lady the other day she said "We hre struggling with an African violet," and my experience was not very helpful as it has not been very wide with these plants; however there are two violets now cover- ed with buds on the window sill. and they may be as lovely as some seen in other homes grown by good gardeners. These plants were potted up in soil taken from a- round a. straw stack - leaf mold would do as well- and with the addition of garden soil and a small amount of well rotted man- ure, they are now looking very healthy. All the house plants have enjoyed and thrived on the sunny days now lengthening. The show geranium or "pansy" as it was called by our parents is flowering and will continue for weeks mak- ing a display that pleases all gar- den visitors. Daffodils and scillas are lovely and all the plants are making new growtli, reminding us that spring is near. Cuttings of favorite plants have been made and will be ready for the garden when they are needed. This is a good time to order from the seedsmaii all the seeds and bulbs you will need in the com- lng season, at this time you will enjoy the anticipation of the gar- den. a very real joy to all who love gardens. .
